Most of the infrared radiation to the Earth is absorbed and transmitted towards the Earth's surface.

Correct answer: B). Mostly absorbed and transmitted toward Earth's surface

The infrared radiation coming from the sun reaches the earth's surface and it warms up the earth's surface. It emits back some of the infrared radiation some of it is absorbed by the gases present in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide. It is called as greenhouse effect.

If it does not occur then the radiation coming from the earth would be powerful enough to burn skin.

8090 [49]

Answer:

Water is slower to heat than most materials.

Explanation:

There is a physical property called "specific heat". This property determines the amount of temperature necessary to change 1ºC in the temperature of the materials. The higher the specific heat of the material, the slower it will heat up.

The water has an extremely high specific heat, which means that it will slowly heat up to an extremely high temperature. The specific heat of the water is greater than most materials and this explains why high variations and external temperature changes almost do not cause changes in the water of the picisnas, for example.

Answer: Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself. In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the division process in which the DNA of the cell's nucleus is split into two equal sets of chromosomes.

The great majority of the cell divisions that happen in your body involve mitosis. During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells, and throughout an organism’s life, it replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones. For single-celled eukaryotes like yeast, mitotic divisions are actually a form of reproduction, adding new individuals to the population.

In all of these cases, the “goal” of mitosis is to make sure that each daughter cell gets a perfect, full set of chromosomes. Cells with too few or too many chromosomes usually don’t function well: they may not survive, or they may even cause cancer. So, when cells undergo mitosis, they don’t just divide their DNA at random and toss it into piles for the two daughter cells. Instead, they split up their duplicated chromosomes in a carefully organized series of steps.

E) button-like points of strong adhesion between two cells. Desmosome

F) hollow cylinders associated with gap junctions. Connexons

G) type of adherens junction connecting cells with the extracellular matrix. focal adhesion

H) intermediate filaments associated with plaques. Tonofilaments

I) collection of adherens junctions particularly associated with epithelial cells.

J) type of adhesive junction containing actin microfilaments. Adherens junctions

K) specialized modifications of the cell membrane in which two cells come together in multicellular organisms. Cell junctions

L) point of cytoplasmic contact between two cells. Gap junction

M) anchors cytoskeleton of one cell with that of a neighboring cell. Adhesive junction

Explanation:

Connexin: is a transmembrane protein that forms the gap junctions, they are also called gap junctions proteins.

Hemidesmosome junctions: these types of junctions are in the epidermis, specifically between the epithelial cells and the basal lamina of the epidermis.

Plaque: they are part of the adherens junctions, they are fibrous proteins that are attached to certain points of the extracellular matrix.

Tight junctions: are junctions between two epithelia, they are very restrictive and do not allow the passage of soluble molecules creating a permeability barrier.

Desmosomes: are very strong cell to cell junctions on the lateral sides of plasma membranes. They are in tissues that are under mechanical stress, such as the cardiac muscle.

Connexons: is a pore made of six connexin proteins in a gap junction. Connexons are the ones that connect two cells in gap junctions.

Focal adhesions: They connect the extracellular matrix with the cell, regulatory signs and mechanical force is transmitted through them.

Tonofilaments: tonofilaments are the ones that are associated with a plaque in adherens junctions, they are in epithelial tissues.

Adherens junctions: are cell to cell junctions where the cytoplasmatic face is connected to the actin cytoskeleton. They appear as spots forming the plaque or as zonula adherens, which are actin bands around the cell.

Cell junctions are protein complexes that connect two cells that are next to each other or a cell with the extracellular matrix. They have a lot of functions, such as pas information from cell to cell, or the exterior, form a barrier, synchronize cells, etc.

Gap junctions: are connections between the cytoplasm of two cells, molecules and, ions pass directly from one cell to the other.
